David and Sara met in architecture school, drawn together by their mutual passion for music, art, and design. The architectural history of their North Carolina hometowns, as well as their frequent childhood family vacations to Savannah, and Charleston, are part of what inspired them to pursue careers in architecture and also inspired the design of their wedding. Sara searched for …

I am a believer in fate, and people who’s lives you are suppose to be a part of. This couple was one of them. From the start, it seemed fated that Caroline and Harris were meant to be together. They were born 10 days apart and high school sweethearts.Harris’ mother received a ring for his birth containing a sapphire that …

Erin & Michael 6.24.17 I am going to try and keep this brief but I could pour on for a while about these two.

When I first met Emily and Doug for their engagement adventure session in Alabama, I was pretty blown away by their story. They met at a pub while Emily was visiting a friend in the small town of Orkney off the north coast of Scotland. Instant connection, they spent the next two years flying back between Scotland and Spain, until …

ADVENTURE SESSION NICKAJACK LAKE AND AIRBNB TREE HOUSE Jen and Ryan are some of my favorite people.

It seemed like forever ago when I had my first facetime with Caitlyn, we immediately connected.

Cumberland Island Engagement Session When Margaret and John approached me about having an engagement session at Cumberland Island, I was eager to set a date.

We arrived on the Cumberland Island Ferry early that Saturday morning and took the day …

These two high school sweethearts made it official on a cloudy day in December, at Montaluce Winery in Dahlonega. The mountain views and candlelit taverns were the perfect backdrop with their love of the outdoors. Rain trickled down lightly as the ceremony began, only adding to the romantic, quiet mood. Candles lit the way down the aisle where Adam stood next to his …

Tori and Drew returned to their hometown of Macon to get married at the character filled 1800’s mansion, the Historic Hay House. I have been dreaming of shooting a wedding here since the days I set eyes on it, so I was beyond thrilled when they found me. Secret doorways, darkly lit hallways, and ornate furnishing from that time period …

Erin & Michael found Cascade Springs Nature Preserve for their engagement photos. A little hidden gem on the outskirts of Atlanta that not too many people know about. One of my favorite parts was climbing through a tunnel with over grown ivy and water at our feet. They didn’t think twice and were up for any adventure.

All the feels for this wedding. Diana + Derek kept it intimate with only their nearest and dearest at a private ceremony. Friends and family were invited to join the celebration at a local favorite, Southbound. Their wedding really captured the modern southern spirit that is Atlanta. dress: Houghton of The Sentimentalist Atlanta suit/tux: Theory Invitations: Minted cake: Allison Cleveland Wolfe …

My ole stomping ground, Chicago. Real emotion. Real love. These two are the real deal. …

Then talk of desert adventures ensued, and I was already counting down the days for our …

It’s hard not to want to post every photo I take sometimes at weddings like these. I knew Stephanie’s family through my husband and showing up to ‘work’, really just seemed like my treat. I loved how unique everything was to them..from her wild flowers and bohemian glam style, to the home brew made by her dad. As I …

I can’t tell you how delighted I am when a couple approaches me to be a part of their elopement. It’s such an intimate occasion, and sharing in the emotion of the day is always an honor. Ashley + Yaw got married that afternoon at the court house, and then met up with me to take some nontraditional portraits. I love their …

I teamed up with some of the best of the best in Atlanta for this styled shoot. The vision was something a little darker and romantic, with rich color and tones.

This wedding was arguably the biggest of 2015 for many reasons, so it seemed like the perfect way to wrap up the year with this epic love story. Naghmeh (Fatima) and I met well over a year ago. She found me through the most bizarre of circumstances… If you can believe, she recognized one of my previous brides from my …

I can’t think of a better way to spend a saturday then on a gorgeous plantation, with the sweetest couple, and the most perfect fall day. Everything..and I mean everything, at Vinewood Plantation is set up simply and beautifully and creates the most picture perfect, pleasant experience. The owners literally allow everyone to relax and enjoy the pleasantries of their own …

There must be something about the three of us getting together that makes it rain…because sure enough, for both the engagement and the wedding , the rain came down.

I love it when incrediblly fashionable, in love, adorable people find me and want me to take their picture. I can’t really call this ‘working’. We just had a fabulous fun day and I loved the 1920’s vibes for their photos. I couldn’t think of a more perfect location than the Atlanta History Center for their backdrop. Enjoy!

Sometimes its hard to put into words how I feel about two people.. the time we spent and the collaboration we shared. Over the past year we got to know each other through friends weddings, and then ultimately planning for their own. I think I fell in love with these two every time I learned something new about them. …

Being a lover of architecture, and history, the anticipation building up to photograph at Callanwolde for Brielle and Zach’s wedding was huge for me. The stained glass, and window lit hallways, inlaid fireplaces and vaulted ceilings…It was a dream. Not to mention they are two of the coolest Cambridge dwellers I have ever met, and I was very happy they chose Atlanta to host their …

I don’t usually have the time with craziness of wedding season to work with many families, so when I do, its always a treat! Especially when they are adorable as these little ones 😉 Krista reached out to me and was really wanting something not so ‘typical’ of family portrait, so I really wanted to just soak up all the natural goodness and …

Talk about six degrees of separation.. these two have so many incredible stories oh how they came together, it would take me an entire blog to share.. but trust me when I say, it was nothing short of fate that had them bound to be together long ago.
